They’re also not based in a Nordic country, which I find misleading.

Ironically, Lithuania is a part of Northern Europe, but because of the data retention laws they have to pretend that they are based somewhere else[1].

For awhile, my brain conflated it with [OpenVPN-NL](https://openvpn.fox-it.com/about.html), a publicly-available, hardened version of OpenVPN used by the Dutch government.

You can't really blame NordVPN for that (I mean, the Netherlands aren't even a Nordic country, my brain is just broken), but it's a data point.
